Hi RAR are a compression format, same as ZIP. The difference is that RAR will split the file into multiple parts for ease of transfer i.e. Bittorrent file, which if a part files you don't need to send the entire file again.
A program such as unRarX will join the files into one for you, unless the file name gives an indication.
